Unbelievable deposit in your 401K, premium health plans, you eventually get to bid on amazing schedules so you can actually choose when you want to be off (and not need to worry about someone covering your shift so you can have the day or whole hitch off).

Eventually get to only working 10 days a month (and still make ridiculous bank), comparable OT/extra shifts pay thousands (plural) and no pressure from management to take them.

Lose your medical in HAA world you're on your own after sick leave up (or continue to make 60% of crappy pay while on disability); can't remember specifics for airline guys but union folks have made an AMAZING deal for grounded pilots. You're also set for life if it becomes permanently grounding.

Free jump seat for self and for family tickets you only pay tax. For life if you retire I believe.

Worth every bit of pain at Regional for 2-3 years, then the first 1-2 years at the Legacy or LCC.

Can't compare to helicopter world. Completely different world and a VIP life in comparison.
